She said Zip drives John, please get you facts right.
Every state should have the same amount of vote. If every state has the same importance to the union they should all carry the same weight. If not states should be allowed to leave the union and for as they please.
Well dip shit Johnny boyo the 2nd amendment says this...A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed... and and ass bags keep fucking with my(a law abiding citizens) right that shall not be infringed. It doesn't say infringed a little or a lot. It says shall not be infringed. So let not quote the constitution until we quote and live by all the amendments. Mmmkay.
Now I want fudge
Let us pause and reflect, if for only a moment and wish, for the world is in chaos and reeks of drugs and crime, death and disorder. But, in the depth of secrecy a full-scale war has already been launched against factions worse than ever before seen and is run hidden by a shadowy government faction of heroes. Soon, they will launch phase two of an all-out war. One only need look to the sky and see it beginning! A struggle for humanity begins an all-out war! A draft is taken of well-defined lines for the elite in its cause! Hooray! I believe this current criminal element is as big as a third World War. Why not start up uniforms? What? Am I measuring funny? We deserve a fighting chance and well-defined lines beyond a police call!
ok but everytime i hear about disney i get increasingly more angry at disney at the moment it is bad enough that when i see mickey mouse i get a strange feeling i need to scream at the sky
"Like if batman told interesting facts about bats" the hero 2020 needed.

I am a non immigrant living in the US. I don’t understand why it should be morally or legally wrong to ask for visa/ citizenship. If you are here legally, you shouldn’t be worried.
please upload high resolution picture of stay up late by brian swords, i'm want to use it as wallpaper for my computer, please please please. I love that painting
Census man is the hero we needed but didn't deserve
I am Asgardian!
Americans are so weird, blindly trusting corporation with any private info but mistrusting government employees
Asking his name is way too personal? Well, he must be fun to talk to at parties!
I don’t see the problem with libertarians being excluded from the census. Clearly they don’t want to be represented. In fact, I don’t see the problem with them being excluded from the citizenship or from existence.
FFS America, your voting should not be based on your census results. You have ID numbers for everyone given at birth, if not you should have. You should have a record of every US citizen alive of voting age, no matter if they voted or filled in a census. Use that and stop pissing about.
Just watched this and my name is Aidan... Laughed my ass off when he said that I had a slow butt.
What questions was Trump even ASKED in the AMA?!!
“Telling strangers my name is an invasion of privacy, let me just tell the entire world everything I believe in and the way me and my house look”
Maybe she meant the babies grew up?
we have $50,000,000 for you sir, can you verify your indentity? so we can transfer it to the correct account that guy answering the door - that's unconstitional, as you can see i already live at the playboy mansion and i'm in the middle of taking over amazon and apple
remember when we all thought, nutjobs saying the census is a scheme to get peoples data was the worst that could happen with these people? Huh, it really was a simpler time back then.
Census woman: What's your name? "That's way too personal information." Starbucks: What's your name? "John"
I am so grateful to be alive today. My girlfriend saved my life last night. This is a selfie I took in the emergency room after having a severe allergic reaction to almonds. I went into anaphylaxis, meaning my face, my lips, my eyes, my tongue, and my throat all started swelling up rapidly, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. I also had a rash all over my entire body, and I was extremely red. Staying alive had never felt more difficult. At one point, my nasal passage was completely blocked, and it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. They shot me up with Benadryl, steroids, they gave me a breathing tube, and even other stuff that I can’t even remember, and it caused all of the swelling and the rash to go away. Because this was a severe allergic reaction, I need to continue taking steroids and Benadryl for the next week, because it is possible that the allergic reactions could come back at any point over the next week. The steroids and Benadryl make me feel like a zombie, and I really want to take care of my health, so this will be my main focus over the next week. I want to thank my amazing girlfriend, who made the decision to take me to the emergency room the second I started feeling itchy. I was hesitant about going, because I didn’t even want to believe this was actually happening. If it weren’t for my girlfriend driving me to the emergency room only minutes after eating the almonds, there is a good chance that I wouldn’t have made it according to the doctor. This has been without a doubt the hardest few days of my life, but I also look at them as the most important few days of my life. These moments have reminded me about what’s really important in life, and it has made me so grateful to even be here on this earth. I will be prioritizing my health over the next week, and I’ll post updates about how I feel. Thank you all for being patient during these difficult times. This week has been NUTS (too soon for jokes? 😅)
15:46 "... Despite president Trump's decision to back off from the citizenship question..." You mean when he flat out *LOST HIS CASE IN FRONT OF THE SUPREME COURT?!?* This is the problem with modern news media: no matter whose side they claim to be on, they simply cannot bring themselves to tell the truth.
*laughs in greatly enjoys filling out surveys*
Do we need to redo the bathroom with toilets for groups to observe social distancing?
Lol I remember that 80s commercial.... And now im sad because of that
Census vs. gerrymandering.
In the 80s i wasn't born yet and I'm not even American, but that 1980 Census commercial makes me feel nostalgic and warms my heart. You can feel the optimism and the happiness of a simpler time
Gonna be honest, I think this show is better without the live audience. It was so jarring coming back and hearing laughter when I was used to the jokes speaking for themselves
was half expecting the census baby woman to call on Dor-o-thy from the land of Oz.
Batman got offered and that's y we he synthesized corona virus and blamed it on china.
I always knew Trump is an idiot but wow this show has really shows just how much of an ass he is. Ugh how did we LET this happen AND I hope the world will forgive us.
America: Home to the biggest tech companys of the world and to the silicon valley. The biggest drone army in the world. Also America: Severly outdated system to keep track of your population in order to garanty " 'MuricAN FreDoM!1!!".
Who else think that the census song at 0:29 is very much an earworm? I mean, it's really beautiful and somewhat wholesome but it's been stuck in my head for the better part of a week
You can tell that census worker has heard it all before because she barely bats an eye when that jackoff starts talking rubbish.
What was he talking about? What's with him and toilets? That man's brain has long since atrophied due to lack of use.
Damn right I don't want to engage with the census. I have a smartphone. The man already has the information he says he needs.
“...it’s against the law...” Trump Administration: “Laws?! Wat ar doooooooos”
There's an update to this only available in america, what's the craic? Can someone fill me in?
I think most houses have 2 or 3 toilets 😂😂
city's don't know the name of each person living there? how do you know who did or didn't pay taxes? don't people have to have a birth sertivicate? does the city even know who buy's the houses it has? and if froud is commited some how, why does the system thinks sending an old lady from door to door is going to capture that?as an outsider, this makes no census to me at all.
How is a name “too personal”? They clearly don’t have any friends lol
Fun fact: it’s illegal to not complete the census in Canada. Sometimes, when people are intentionally belligerent about not answering, the RCMP goes with the census worker to ensure it’s filled out properly
I just did it on line. The only things on the form: name, address, date if birth, people in the home, do you own or rent, race and THAT IS IT. NO OTHER QUESTIONS ARE ASKED.
Blowmaha
So any reason the turd wants to manipulate the census. Gives them more money and representation to steal. Vote for a clown you'll get the whole circus. HURRY HURRY STEP RIGHT UP "PUTIN" YOU FIRST. Time to flush this orange turd clown. Don't forget to audit all politicians and elected officials. You might want to look at the appointed officials too. And so much for your rights huh ROE VS WADE. Time to reset PUT THE A BACK IN MERICA and stop being naive. Boost immune systems and be safe. I don't need to see a bear shit in the woods to know he shits in the woods. But I do have that video too.
Canada has been including a citizenship question in their census since 1901. Nobody died.
I'm not a huge fan of redistribution of services. Small towns are always the losers.
Filling out now. Cutting it a little too close. Thanks John!
The census information is NOT confidential! They said the same thing 80 years ago when they used the census to round up the Japanese population and put them internment camps. Do you really trust Trump enough to tell them you're hispanic or muslim or anything other than a white christian?
So why is it that Donald Trump and the Republicans want or wanted the census to be done electronically on “the computers of the world”, and they do not want our presidential voting etc. to be done in the same manner?
Fuck you John Oliver
Bigfoot ain't real I mean.... there’s definitely a reason I want government to create new laws. Laws are there to make sure that unjust actions don’t go unpunished. Our world is constantly evolving, so the set of laws written decades ago aren’t going to be able to fix modern problems. If we had always just lived by the laws that were in place and nothing ever changed, black people would still be enslaved, women wouldn’t be able to vote, etc. I just don’t see why that’s a problem?
I'm not trying to change anyone's mind ! I can't help but wonder 🤔 why someone would want MORE government ? MORE over reach ? and MORE LAWS ? ,,,, Inforce the laws you have on the books ! you don't need to create more !
@ThatLaurenThing I do NOT want sheep on my side !
No problem! I’m curious, what are they dictating you can’t have in your home?
@ThatLaurenThing I'm sorry I'm I came off angry or aggressive , but I take GREAT measure to stay out of everyone's business , so when some god damn politician says he's coming to my house ! And DICTATE what I can have in my own home ! No way !
john oliver canonically pees and poos in different toilets.
If they only knew the real challenges we face in 2020 🤦🏾♀️
He forgot covid
So here's a question: Why do you ask for racial ethnicity at all? In any survey? Weird way of trying to get rid of racism you've got there America. You have a boner for everything race-related. Regards, everybody in Europe
Please don't lump in all libertarians with sovereign citizens. We just want weed, guns and less taxes.
I hated (but tolerated) the laugh tracks before, but getting the show without laugh tracks now makes them even more obnoxious when going back. I don’t need to be told when something is supposed to be funny.
John , the idiot, as long as johns lips move he has a job...
Fun fact: You're required by law to fill out the census. Says so right on the thing.
Just finished working for the Census. Let me tell you, I've had so many people who make collecting information a living hell.
Sorry John, but the Libertarians are RIGHT on this issue (they had the idea in 2010 of "Census on a Postcard" with ONE QUESTION: "How many people live at this residence?"THAT IS THE ONLY FUCKING QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ASKED IN THE CENSUS! PERIOD!). As for me, I am "opting-out" this census! I do NOT wish to be counted (or found!), or have ANY data collected about me, where I live, what my age is, or ANY OTHER UN-FUCKING-CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION that the "Census Bureau" asks! If its beyond, "Hoe many people live at this residence?", IGNORE IT! If the Census Worker is persistent, SET THEM ON FIRE! ;)
jesus christ
I'll tell you how many live in my home other than that fuck off and get the hell off my property you're trespassing.
The American Community Survey is part of the Census, and how many toilets you have is part of it, among many other detailed questions about dwellings. Whether Trump was talking about that branch of Census survey taking is questionable, but it's a real thing.
I can go on fastpeoplesearch.com, enter the street address, and get the name, age, month and year of birth, previous addresses, phone numbers, and relatives/associates of anybody living there. Sheesh people, do you really think your data is not already out there?
I love fudge
i use internet on computers of the world.....
John Oliver is douche! Thank you!
Back in 2016, Australia tried to conduct the cenus online. It did not work. The website crashed.
8:25 *GOD!!* FOR ONCE MAKE SENSE! Every fucking time he opens his mouth i feel VIOLATED! Made dumber by his noncohesive ramblings!! WHY THE F IS HE STILL AROUND!? WHY AMERICA WHY!?
@Rick Wolf Amen
When I see the way people act about the Census, I'm convinced that very few Americans have ever read the Constitution.
Decade starts in 2021.... or 2020 second half, if we're to compromise. Who the heck cares about grouping them into the historical notions of divvying up the 20th century's decades? Stats Can does the Canadian census every 5 years, though I don't think its as comprehensive as the US one.
Warms my heart to hear so many people laughing at trump
#savethechildren.
15:49 I sorry, "President Trump's decision to back off"? He didn't decide anything, the courts stopped him.
Am I a joke to you?
That toilet joke got me
Census Man is all about asking people about their homes and identities... and he wears a mask, which is used to hide identity... Edit: Just heard the part about complete privacy and not disclosing identity for 70 years. That makes more sense
Watching this before we get a part 2 in a couple weeks.
The Census “does not say their names or addresses”
That is a president? sorry scratch that, That is a human? I have a bird who talks more sense than him! And it can't even talk!
Once I tried musical chairs with my friends and when I sat on a chair, it folded. My asscheek had a huge gash. Damn chair ripped through my pants. My butt still has a small scar.
Wait, why would minority voters not fill out the census because of the citizenship question? They literally have to be citizens
@Stephen2462 So they're too stupid to know that census info won't be used against them?
Intimidation. Nobody with a brain trusts the current administration not to abuse the census. They don't have to be citizens, actually.
Why are the hamsters so bulgy? Why did I look?
“Oh you’ll notice something about the Census song” *Camera pulls out, mostly white ppl until a very stereotypical slightly racist representation of a Indigenous person is in the crowd* My ass: *realization* Ohh ohhhhhhh oh fuck oh noo ohhh fuck
Maybe they should wait until Rona' is done with us first, before they start counting how many people are living in this country.
My gerrymandering project in 7th grade that no one cares about has meaning. YAY!
The cencus asked you about your ethnicity... it's even worst than citizenship!
"the 2020 census is likely to be more difficult" you're right, but not for a single one of the reasons you listed.
@jmwloup5110 I think no one saw this coming. But Trump avoid counting some people using Covid as an excuse.
He didn't see covid comming
2020: you cannot count on mickey to do what's right because walt disney world is open in the middle of the worst pandemic since walt disney's childhood.
I think Americans these days fundamentally don't understand the concept of "State". If you're not even willing to identify yourself to a government official by your name, what the hell's the point?
Fact: Bats can start a pandemic
72 years is also approximately the amount of time it takes to become a citizen in this country. so by the time the person who was an undocumented child's census information is released, they have finally gotten their citizenship.
I miss November 2019
What about that librarian, his coworkers, the reporter and the camera operator
That was a good Friends reference
In Germany we're getting into the system when we're born. The parents have two weeks to tell the officials where the child is going to live. When you move somewhere else you have to register in your new town. Otherwise you can't vote in your new town. I don't understand how you guys have to do a census like this.
Wir haben trotzdem nen Zensus, 2021 dann wieder
@birdn4t0r I don't. But I assume there would be plenty. Idk it's just normal for us. And you don't have any downsides really.
do you have any idea how many people would go absolutely shrieking batshit insane about that shit? the only people who have to tell the government where they go here is sex offenders, and on top of that association, there's a bunch of paranoid fucking nutjobs who hate the idea of any kind of registry.
Because they would have to reform something and reformation... isnt as popular in some parts of the USA as you would believe
12:15 ohhh it's against the law gee golly i guess i should just trust the government to follow the law and protect my privacy huh? fuck that im not filling out shit. im supposed to believe that if my state gets the funding that their actually going to HELP me?! lmaooo yeah fucking right
“Provided the government’s website works properly.” *Me in 2020 after going through unemployment due to Covid* “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
Hope everything is ok. 🙃
